Mutliwagon rear suspension bushes

Mutliwagon rear suspension bushes

Not going to go into to much detail as if you need step by step details of this you really shouldn't be messing about with it, but here's some basic guidelines and pics.

1. disconnect all rear brake lines
2. unbolt rear subframe
3. remove centre of rubber bushes i found hack saw and hammer worked but others may have better method
4. remove ouside part of bushes using hack saw cutting through just the bush exterior and not the subframe metal. beat out metal part of bush using punch and hammer.
5. grease new bush and fit using substantial metal workers vice as shown in pic needs to be pretty heavy duty as we needed scaffold pole on vice to press bushes in.

if you've got a pit or ramps this job isn't to bad if not pay a garage to do it.

Re: Mutliwagon rear suspension bushes

sorry bubby but you should never put those bush's under that kind of persure by hitting them with a hammer you a fracture the rubber structure of the bush and it will wear out much quicker and some times fail all together they should always be fitted with a press

Yeah but wouldnt it be great if people actually read stuff properly, any ways bushes were roughly twenty quid i think, not sure what the part number was now but is is available on the ePER parts page there's a link to that on this forum. Took two of us a day to remove old ones and fit new ones, but we didnt work that hard and plenty of tea breaks. Didint want to post a part number incase diferent year multiwagons use diferent bushes.
